Going home for lunch is pretty damn good

I work about 2.5 miles from my home, so to walk from my car, and drive home takes 10 minutes. This gives me 40 minutes of my home, in peace and quiet. And I can watch tv or lay on the couch and no need to pack a lunch.

I’ve been working my job for 3 years and did it for the first time last week. In all honesty, I was biking 90% of the time so going home was not really an option and will probably start biking more again soon but driving home for lunch is nice.

Today I watched the first part of Top Gear episode where they are driving around some old hatchbacks and ate some chicken nuggets.

And for your time, and in honor of montego man’s dilemma - a Capri with louvers courtesy of curbside classics. Damn that’s a good looking fox body I saw his thread and immediately started searching for a Capri in my area, forgot to even reply.

I love working close to home. Haven’t looked at the mileage but it also only takes me 10 minutes. I love being able to clock out at 5:00 and be in the garage at 5:10. Yay not having to deal with any rush hour traffic!

I do it every day. 15 min to drive, 30 to chill, 15 to drive back. helps clear my head and brakes up my day.

I actually work from home and I get to try some interesting culinary experiments. Today for example I did the “Monday” part of this post

I ate it while watching a Netflix documentary about algorithms.

Sometimes though it can be weird being in the exact same place and not seeing another human for 3 days straight. So I go out for a short walk to save my sanity.

Apparently early capris came with a flat hatch, and later ones with the bubble back.

I worked from home for about a year and I never did much in the way of culinary expirements. And yes, the lack of seeing other people is weird, and for me it was difficult.

If I make driving home a more regular thing, I’ll do better some days than chicken nuggets.

Been doing it for the last 2 and half years. I’ve watched a lot of documentaries....

Makes me really interesting in parties, I go: “Did you know that [some-random-fact-about-world-war-2]?” Then the girl gets so flooded with dopamine that it causes her to roll her eyes!
